All the strobes & lightstands & soft boxes were upstairs in the guest room, and I knew that I wanted to use them downstairs.  That meant about a half-dozen trips up & down the stairs, usually with full arms, followed by a chunk of time setting up the lights in the next scene (next page). While I was setting up, I left Natalia on her own, and the gravity of the big comfy chair in the living room drew her.  When I came looking for her, she looked so comfortable, and the light was so sweet.  We had to make a few exposures.  (That's not unusual -- much of these sessions are planned, but we sometime took advantage of serendipity. 

 

 

 

At the time of its creation, this picture was just one of a small number of exposures we made in this nice light, but both Natalia & I identified it as a favorite.  Indeed, I believe that this image is my favorite of Natalia's visit.

In fact, I think this might be one of the sexiest picture I've ever made.  I love the tussled hair and the intimate eye contact.  I like that we can see that Natalia is nude but the naughty bits are left to the imagination.  This kind of image is often designated as "implied" or "implied nudity", but in nearly all of these "implied" images, the model is careful to cover up, but here, Natalia is just being there, enjoying the chair, and relating to me.  

Forget so-called "glamour" pictures -- this is what I find sexy.  I love this image.

 

 

 

I don't move as easily as I used to, but during a photography session, I still try to check out multiple perspectives.  Look what I found when I stood up & looked down. 

 

 

 

 

Working with the big comfy chair was a quick break between the guest room setup and the next setup, in the shower.  We worked for only a few minutes, but we made a favorite image.

I admire models a great deal.  Some special ones, like Natalia, amaze me by how comfortable & natural they are while they sit about the house, nude.
